The M1A1 Thompson "Tommy Gun" is one of the 4 new weapons released for Hardline on June 16th. Unlike the other new weapons, the M1A1 can be used with any class and is the first such primary like this. It can be purchased for $48,000 in-game monies under any class primary weapons selection section. The weapon was released with the multiplayer patch and therefore does not require the "Criminal Activity" DLC to use or obtain the achievement. Leveling a weapon is different from all other leveling in Hardline. Where as all other leveling is based on points, leveling a weapon is solely based on kills.

Starting from scratch, you will receive a Bronze Service star for every 10 kills.

Once you reach bronze service star 10, the next service star you will receive will be silver service star 1. Silver services stars require 15 kills per star.

Once you reach silver service star 10, the next service star you will receive will be gold service star 1. Gold service stars require 25 kills per star.

These kills can be obtained in any quantity over any number of matches and can be tracked on your battlelog stats > weapons page under M1A1 Thompson.

BOOSTING This achievement will take about 1 hour. 4 players / boosters are required to start a match. Finding an empty server is not a problem , but randoms will generally join after a short while. Quickest would be to rent a server and play on bounty hunter game mode with lowest possible respawn times and player health set at 75% (lowest) and max time. Have at least 2 players have a respawn beacon ("Satellite Phone" found under mechanic class) unlocked. At least 2 with this beacon so that there will always be one regardless of whose turn it is to do the killing. Move 3 players to 1 team and have the 4th player constantly kill respawning enemies with M1A1 Thompson. As long as the bounty coin that is dropped by the killed enemy is not picked up the score will remain 0 - 0 and you can kill like this until the time ends for match. Switch it up every few hundred kills to another killer. 4 Players should be able to boost 275 kills / player in a little over 1 hours time as long as everyone is present and respawning as quickly as possible or have their turbo controller set to rapid fire 'A' when it is not their turn to kill.
